Clouded Footman -male & female with eggs These are the same moths as in the last post but this was the scene 6 days later. Two of the moths had flown away and the other was clear-off the female. The wingless female had started laying eggs seen here as minute glistening orbs. The female had the same colours as seen on the caterpillar. Will wait to see what happens next.....
